”Scandiravia! Who are the new Nordic pop stars?
The Swedish version of The X Factor may have lasted for only one series (it was scrapped to make way for the returning Swedish Idol), but it lasted just long enough to discover – deep breath – 18-year-old Awa Matilda Isakine Santesson-Sey, AKA Awa. While her debut single Not Ready To Say Goodbye was a cute, PG-13 JoJo-esque R&B stomper, her summer single Obvious – with its percolating production, big soulful vocals and undercurrent of melancholy – utilises dance music’s current obsession with 90s house but bolts on a proper pop song.”
